TSS (Total Suspended Solids)

Total Suspended Solids (TSS) refer to tiny particles that are suspended in water and do not dissolve. These particles can include soil, organic matter, algae, and other small debris. High TSS levels can reduce water quality by decreasing light penetration, harming aquatic life, and indicating pollution from runoff or waste discharge. Measuring TSS helps assess water cleanliness and the effectiveness of treatment processes. Typically expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L), TSS is a key parameter in water quality monitoring and environmental management.
